| Obverse description | A barebreasted mermaid with flowing hair and a floral wreath is depicted seated upon an ornately decorated throne, facing slightly left, holding an upright paddle in her right hand. Her scaled fish tail curls downward into stylized ocean waves at the base of the design. To the left, traditional Palauan bai (meeting house) architectural elements are visible in the field. The denomination '1 $' appears to the right, while the circumferential legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU 1993' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, all within a beaded border. |

A horizontal rectangular cartouche with a contrasting dark polished background is positioned across the centre of the field, bearing the two-line inscription denoting the essai designation and metal specifications. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
